[QUOTE="Jandurin"][QUOTE="darthogre"]I guess you didn't read this: "Our relationship with Sony Computer Entertainment is still very strong, and continues as we develop additional projects exclusively for PlayStation 3 - projects that will take full advantage of our additional development time."darthogre"additional development time" Sure, because we all know that excess time is a norm in game development. It seems this is something they have specifically are doing for all their titles now: "One thing that has become apparent to us though is that in order to live up to our own high standards of quality, we want to give ourselves more development time to iterate and polish our games. All future Insomniac titles will benefit from longer development cycles, which will directly benefit you, our fans" well this explains why resistance two sucked lol
[QUOTE="Hahadouken"]Not really, it's the same mentality that causes Cows to say Bungie is overrated, Halo is a piece of trash etc. I'll let you decide what characteristic this exhibits, but it's pretty clear to me.JandurinO_O Surely you aren't suggesting that I dislike Insomniac because they're becoming multiplatform? I just think Ratchet and Clank is trash and Spyro is boring. FPS' are crap, except for mindless co-op fun. Spyro isn't owned by Insomniac.
its not the fact that they dont care its just ratchet and clank is done and resistance is pretty much not a relevant title anymore. liked the first but the second suffered lets say a identity crisis. there good developers but i say maybe them going 3rd party was for the bestSo now cows dont care about insomniac :?
tupapi006
haha playstation fans acting like they dont like the games they make now
resistance does suck but i know they can make some good stuff
Here's hoping for a new IP, cuzlike the Halo series, theResistance series do not appeal to me at all, but R&C is stillgreat they should keepthat up.
Anyway, I kind of wish Insomniac had created theircurrent ip with R&C in mind in all its galore not just the weapons. (Gadget and platforming aspects, etc.)
I know WTF guys? I love Rachet and clank shame sony didn't buy them... but..So now cows dont care about insomniac :?

It is a new IP Sony owns all of Insomniacs IPs that were created after they left Vivendi Universal.Here's hoping for a new IP, cuzlike the Halo series, theResistance series do not appeal to me at all, but R&C is stillgreat they should keepthat up.

This must be from their newish team while the Ratchet/Resistance teams continue their Sony-only stuff. Cool beans. I knew this was coming sooner or later, thought E3 would be the place to spill the aforementioned beans though.Floppy_JimTheir new IP will be done at Burbank (old studio).

What I ment was... WTF guys you hate insomiac? I love R and C, To bad sony didn't buy Insomiac I mean they bought Media Molecule real fast.Their new IP will be done at Burbank (old studio). Ah :o We still don't know what the new studio are cooking up then, hopefully something new. I'd take 2 new Insomniac IPs in lieu of yet another Ratchet.[QUOTE="Floppy_Jim"]This must be from their newish team while the Ratchet/Resistance teams continue their Sony-only stuff. Cool beans.

Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction: 89

and yes it is very odd
That's actually pretty good news. I always loved their games but it was a shame that they couldn't sell more as they deserved killer sales.

to be fair, that one weak score on your list (76) is not a full game, it's an add-on.
Surely Great news for non PS3 owners... The R&C series was fun as is Resistance.. so surely Insomniac will release hopefully a new IP which will be fun and more gamers will be able to enjoy it..
No from the sounds of most of the people's post the lemmings are trying to act like the cool kids and pretend they don't care. Why would the cows be freaking out when this is just a one game deal. And that Ted said that they will continue to support and show love to Sony who they have a great working partnership.So now cows dont care about insomniac :?

Good news for 360 only customers, but it's kinda sad to see exclusives, and exclusive franchises becoming less and less. I purchase each particular console for their prize first party titles, and this seems to almost lean towards the future of a one console universe. Hopefully not.
I like how Insomniac announced this. The public announced a multiplatform deal with EA. They didn't wait till an E3 attack announcement by Microsoft.
We learned 2 great things 2.
1. Still making PS3 exclusives published by Sony.
2. Longer development times (what they need). This was my biggest complaint about R2 (still loved it) is that it felt unpolished. Like the game needed 6 more months of polishing.
I don't get it what's wrong with having a universal console?I understand that in theory it would be overpriced but in practice I don't think it would be too much of a concern. Do people really believe it's going to be that much more overpriced?If that's the case, some people really underestimate consumer's buying power and their previous knowlege of prices. On top of that, competition will still existed amongst hardware manufacturerspc and console (considering console gamingis becoming more and more like PC gaming) and game devs.Good news for 360 only customers, but it's kinda sad to see exclusives, and exclusive franchises becoming less and less.

Cool. I've always liked the Ratchet and Clank series so I hope they make a new IP like that. I hated the Resistance games.
That's how I see it too...I don't see the big deal. 360 owners get to experience some Insomniac flavour and PS3 fans still get some Insomniac exclusives. Not a bad deal to me.

1 console would lead to a monopoly. This would mean higher prices and less competition. Basic rules of business.
